I know where I was - sick in bed with a gastric bug!! My mother had been over to our house to retrieve my 6 months old son, so that I could enjoy my misery in peace. Mum had television, which we didn't, so she decided to sit Philip up with a cushion behind him, so that he could watch history

Hi Jean Men on the moon didn't seem too big a deal to me in July 1969, I was only 10 years old and desperately missing my mum who had recently died ( aged 39 from lung cancer - she never smoked but my father did by the packet load), I had been dumped into a convent boarding school (not wanted at

Hi everyone I don't remember precisely what I was doing on this date but it must have been a clear night - I recall looking up at the moon and telling myself, in disbelief, that people were there. I get claustrophobic thinking about being in space, in a suit, in a capsule, in trust of those on

Hi All, Alice wrote that she can't work her mouse without her thumb. My suggestion is get a Turbo Ball (actually mine says Kensington Expert Mouse on it). It's a ball in a box with two places to click on the right and left. No thumb needed but you do need a flat place to put it and a place to

Sue, You might want to get her form of arthritis diagnosed, as there are very many different types of arthritis - Rheumatoid, osteo, gout - to name a few. I would think that treatment varies according to the type. I had an arthritis panel done last year to eliminate it as a cause of ankle pain

Please pardon, but I gotta share my excitement! I've just published my first attempt at a web site for our orchid nursery. It's been a real learning experience for a techno-illiterate like me. It's not much, I found a thingie I could buy that has templates and all that just to get it out there.
